I own a Fritzbox, the big (7590)
This one is at the bottom and I'm playing the Xbox at the top. (3rd floor)
It is clear that the internet is bad.
But I had a TP link. Down in the socket and with LAN cable connected to the router and top only into the socket.
That helped only little.
Is there a better alternative?
(NO I Can't GO TO THE ROUTER)

YES - are you looking here: https://www.devolo.de/
Do you have a connection on the third floor? Then it could be used at the top and bottom. The waves that the router sends out are thrown down, that's why.
